A universal exhaust gasket for the most common aftermarket downpipe-to-catback flange interface in the performance exhaust market. Suitable for any vehicle running a 3-inch 2-bolt downpipe and catback combination — most commonly Subaru WRX, STI, and similar JDM-platform builds running aftermarket exhaust systems. 0.2 lbs.

Most aftermarket downpipes from GrimmSpeed, Invidia, Agency Power, Perrin, and similar brands terminate in a 3-inch 2-bolt outlet flange. Most aftermarket catback systems in the same ecosystem use a matching 3-inch 2-bolt inlet flange. This gasket seals that junction. Before ordering, confirm both your downpipe outlet and catback inlet are 3-inch 2-bolt — some catback systems use a 3-bolt or V-band connection instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Choose 2X Thick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2X thick gasket provides twice the compressed thickness of a standard-thickness downpipe-to-catback gasket. The standard thickness is appropriate for flange faces in good condition on a first or routine installation.
